The program computes the velocity and temperature profiles for free convection past an isothermal vertical plate. Results are obtained after solving two coupled nonlinear differential equations. The shooting method is used to obtain the boundary conditions, required to solve the coupled ODEs,... Platforms: Matlab

The programs compute the bifurcation diagram for the cubic map and a realistic population dynamics model. The value of parameter r, when the cycle of period three appears, is indicated. As expected, for higher values of r, we observe chaotic behaviour. Both models are given in the problems?... Platforms: Matlab

Three factors interfere in the determination of pellet mean size. These are the impeller speed, the binding solution and the pelletization time. We use experimental design (Doehlert design) to predict pellet mean size versus the three factors. We determine the quadratic model by multi-linear... Platforms: Matlab

We use a batch column with four theoretical plates to separate a binary mixture of water and methanol at 1 bar. Temperature and concentration profiles versus time are obtained for a reflux ratio equal to 10. In addition, the total moles in the still and distillate are plotted versus time. This...

The code uses the SRK EOS written for a single component to plot isotherms, compute gas and liquid molar volumes and to plot vapor pressure versus temperature for ethane.Please visit these links for a paper by Z. Nasri and H. Binous where all equations are given as well as the same calculations... Platforms: Matlab

We use the SRK equation of state to compute the correction factor due to gas-phase nonideality as a result of the high pressure applied in the ammonia synthesis. We also compute the extent of reaction. Plots of these two quantities versus pressure for temperature equal to 800K are presented. The... Platforms: Matlab

Gas absorption is a very ubiquitous unit operation in any chemical plant. It has in common with liquid-liquid extraction that there are two carrier streams and one solute to be partioned between them. Here, we use the McCabe and Thiele graphical method to study the separation of acetone from air.... Platforms: Matlab

We would like to rise water temperature with a heater. Oulet temperature must be equal to the set point temperature (80dlT-C). Proportional (P), Proportional-Integral (PI) and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control are used and the respective results are compared. Inlet water temperature... Platforms: Matlab

The program shows how to plot figure 14.4 page 248 presented in T. L. Hill, An Introduction to Statistical Thermodynamics, Dover, New York, 1986. The Bragg-Williams approximation gives pressure-volume isotherms similar to those obtained using the van der Waals equation and it predicts first-order... Platforms: Matlab

The program allows one to choose the best reactor setup among three alternatives: (1) a plug flow reactor with recycle, (2) a combination of a plug flow reactor and a stirred tank reactor in series and (3) two stirred tank reactors in series. This problem was solved graphically by O. Levenspiel... Platforms: Matlab

The three-variable autocatalator is a prototype of complex dynamical behavior. Indeed, period doubling and chaos are found when the bifurcation parameter, nu, is varied between 0.10 and 0.20.The autocatalator's steps are the following:P->AP+C->A+CA->BA+2 B->3 BB->CC->DWhere P is a chemical...

In the program, we obtain equilibrium constants, compressibility factors, molar volumes and densities using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. We find the same results as those given by Henley and Seader in Equilibrium-Stage Separation Operations in Chemical Engineering, Wiley, 1981... Platforms: Matlab

The code computes the velocity profile for the vertical laminar flow of a Bingham fluid down a wall. As expected the profile is flat near the surface of the liquid film. In fact, we have a zero velocity gradient only when the shear stress is large enough (superior to tau0). This behaviour is... Platforms: Matlab

The velocity and shear stress versus radial position are determined for laminar flow of a Carreau fluid in a pipe. The shooting method is used to verify the no-slip boundary condition at the piped-deOaos wall. Once the velocity at the center is determined, the governing Differential Algebraic...

The two programs computes residue curve maps for the methyl acetate and isopropyl acetate chemistries at atmospheric pressure. These calculations involve solving a complex system of differential algebraic equations (DAEs). This can be readily achieved using the built-in function of MatLab,... Platforms: Matlab
